Telehealth Monitering

Telehealth is an in-home monitoring system designed to communicate medical information (blood pressure, weight, oxygen levels, blood sugars, etc. ) to a patient’s homecare nurse. Those patients diagnosed with asthma, heart disease, COPD, diabetes, and chronic renal failure benefit most from this remote program. This state of the art technology does not replace the home health nurse, but greatly enhances the overall care plan.

The Telehealth Monitoring Device is easy to use and takes only minutes a day. A clear, friendly voice prompts the patient and walks them through the daily health check.

Provides patients peace of mind that their health status is being monitored.

Palliative Care

Dealing with the symptoms of any painful or serious illness is difficult. However, Wilshire Home Health provides special care to make you more comfortable. It's called palliative (pal-lee-uh-tiv) care. You receive palliative care at the same time that you’re receiving treatments for you illness. It’s primary purpose is to relieve the pain and other symptoms you are experiencing and improve your quality of life.

Palliative care provides relief from distressing symptoms including pain, shortness of breath, fatigue, constipation, nausea, loss of appetite, problems with sleep and many other symptoms. It can also help you deal with the side effects of the medical treatments you’re receiving. Most importantly, palliative care can help improve your quality of life.
